If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

| The commentary was excellent... Mainly because it was COMMENTARY, not two blokes, in safe seats, filled with their own self importance, talking total because they have gotten away with it for far far too long...

| I agree the premier commentary was great, knowledgable, enthusiastic, funny and he managed a pint! A pie! and a game of darts.
IMO this thread is unfair on Eddie and Steve, it's like comparing real broad sheet journalism to a Tabloid reporter. Eddie and Steve are employed to entertain and make up stories for a viewing audience that aren't RL fans.(see american sports reporting formula= 2 tanned bland suits not ment to offend) Sky don't care about us, we will pay for it anyway

| So, so refreshing to have great commentary.
Eddie and Stevo should be embarrassed with themselves.
In a dream world, Voss would replace Hemmings next year and be paired with Brian Carney.

| I agree Voss is excellent. I particularly liked how informative he was about Warrington and the HJ. He was commentating to the world, whereas Sky or BBC commentate to a UK audience and assume all viewers are up to speed, if that makes sense. However, I would be happy never to hear Carney's voice ever again! I can't stand the way he talks through an entire set of plays. He's not the only culprit, though. It seems to be the style of commentating over here.

What a dreadful thing!
Taste is the enemy of creativeness.

| really nice tonight being able to hear exactly what the video ref is saying. makes a really good contribution to the game, and allows you to understand exactly why someone is making the decision they are.
definitely something SKY should do for next season

Nah it will never happen, they just want us to listen to those two buffoons speculating - nearest we'll get is the former referee

| 80 minutes of Rugby tonight and not one mention of "he's gotta get the message out!!...."
Bliss
Really enjoying the coverage of the games on both the beeb and Premier

| Knew nothing about Premier Sports last week and, to be honest, i was underwhelmed with what they had on show before the world cup started. I have to say however that their coverage has been excellent so far and i havent once wanted to switch over to BBC and i haven't missed those 2 tits on sky at all

Might just be my Vbox but check your link is working for all matches as I found out purely by accident last night that mine was only set to record 8 games and have had to press the series link again for Saturday's games and beyond.
Could just be our machine throwing a wobbler but nothing worse than thinking you've set something to record only to find you haven't got anything to watch after all

I take it by your comments you have only recently got
premier as can't see how you can be underwhelmed by 8 games of NRL every week plus state of origin and play off series

Jeez, Brian Carney speaks to the camera like he's presenting a programme for the under 5's on cbeebies
